We solve the Bogoliubovde-Gennes equation employing a realistic three dimensional tight-binding model that captures the experimental Fermi surface very well. In agreement with experiments we find a Pauli limiting to the upper critical field and, at low temperatures and high fields, a second superconducting transition. These transitions which form a superconducting subphase in the H-T phase diagram are first-order in nature and merge into a single second-order transition at a bicritical point (T,H), for which we find (0.8 K, 2.4 T) with experiment reporting (0.8 K, ∼ 1.2 T) [Phys. Rev. B 93, 184513 (2016)]. Furthermore, we find a substantial drop in the Knight shift in agreement with recent experiments.</p> |
